You may have won the lotto, commenced your mid-life crisis, or perhaps you love nothing better than burning rubber and drifting (keep it in the track).

Now that the 370z is under $60K DA you can leave 320i, 86\BRZ and C class poseurs in the dust.

I've driven the 370z and its a hoot to steer, built like a Swiss watch and goes like the clappers.

Shameless cut and paste is below:

KEY FEATURES

  • 3.7 Ltr 6 cylinder VQ engine (245kW/363Nm)
  • SynchroRev Match Transmission
  • 19" alloy wheels
  • Satellite Navigation
  • Reversing camera with Predictive Path technology

*Maximum recommended driveaway price for new 370Z Coupe manual models ordered and delivered between 1/11/13 and 31/12/13 including dealer delivery and statutory charges. Prices may vary between dealers. Nissan reserves the right to vary or extend this offer. Premium paint available at additional cost.

    Not bad, but still twice the regular price of a Toyota 86. Around twice the real world fuel consumption as well.

    • AlexVoumard66 on 14/11/2013 - 17:32

      Its also half the price of an m3. What's your point? The 86 is not equal to the 370.

      • elektron on 14/11/2013 - 17:56

        My point is that the OP compared with the the 86/BRZ - I just responded to that. He did not compare that to an M3.

        • Shwayne on 14/11/2013 - 20:40

          He didn't compare it with the 86/BRZ he dismissed the 86/BRZ as 'lower class cars'.

          Which they actually are, anyone that suggests otherwise is just deluding themselves. At half the price, you expect them to be, so I don't know how valid it is putting the 86 in a comparative list where the rest are 60-80k.

        • andy911 on 15/11/2013 - 14:57
          +1

          Just before the 86/BRZ came out, Wheels put one on the cover above a Porsche Cayman with a slogan something like 86 thrashes Cayman. As a Cayman S owner I was appalled, and promptly cancelled my subscription. To be honest I never really bothered reading wheels it's mostly poorly written advertorial interspersed with Ads that are more informative. I subscribed for the free Sidchrome socketset set deal I saw here on OB :>

          The 86 looks great to me, so does a 370z, mx5, Veloster.
          I don't get why some people take such an adversarial approach about cars though - check out Ford Turbo guy's posts. I'll bet he runs around saying his girlfriend's tits are bigger than his mates' girlfriend. Such a class act.

          Ever heard of power-to-weight ratio????

          Not to mention the XR6 will handle like a pregnant cow compared to the Z…

          The Z is a sports car. The XR6 is a friggin family car with a powerful engine…

        • nhbvgynh on 15/11/2013 - 11:57

          Falcon's faster according to Wheels -
          370Z = 5.6sec 0-100
          XR6 Turbo Sedan = 5.2sec 0-100
          XR6 Turbo ute = 5.5sec 0-100

          the new VF Commodores seem to be getting faster times too for more like $40-45k.

          Faster on a track is all good for the folks who take their cars on track days (everyone on ozb I'm sure) but for a car I'll drive every day, I'll take the faster one that's a bit average around the corners but which rides comfortably over the shit roads we have where I drive.

          To call the 370Z slow ala vid_ghost is probably pushing it a bit far though.

          put an aftermarket exhaust or even just a retune on the XR6T and it'll walk away from the 370z like it's standing still though.

          Not that they're cars that should be compared IMO. Just saying, if you're trying to argue that a 370z is as fast or faster in a straight line than an XR6T you will lose.

          OMG, are you telling me a modified car will own a stock one? Didn't know that!

        • ironpaw on 15/11/2013 - 13:43

          depends on where you are getting your figures from:

          http://fastestlaps.com/cars/nissan_370z.html

          Motor Trend even got a 4.8 0-60 time (I know its not exactly the same as 0-100, but close enough)

          http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1208_2012_nissan_…

          I think its suffice to say that the XR6 could be just as/slightly faster/slightly slower then a 370z on any given day…

        • MrFunSocks on 15/11/2013 - 16:08

          Well "modified" in the smallest possible way. A retune alone will get you pretty significant gains, as with most turbo cars they are very detuned when stock.

          The point that I was getting at moreso was that a stock 370z is pretty much as quick as it's going to be unless you spend big money on it. For $1k-$2k on top of the already significantly cheaper XR6T's purchase price you'll be leaving the 370z in your rear vision mirror right from the get go.

        • nhbvgynh on 16/11/2013 - 11:15

          Just wanted to reply to this, even though we've wandered way off topic :)

          You're correct, you can't compare times unless they're on the same day in the same place in the same conditions.

          Wheels has a different testing method to most US publications (in addition to testing an Australian spec car of the type we can actually buy here, which apart from having the steering wheel on the opposite side likely has other differences due to regulatory requirements and market differences). Wheels magazine tests the cars with a half tank of fuel and two guys in the car. They also rarely do their testing on a drag strip where they could get better grip allowing for a faster take off.

          You'll almost always find they get slower times for comparable cars reviewed elsewhere, but across cars measured in the same way it can still be useful data.

        • Speckled Jim on 16/11/2013 - 11:53

          Wait. You're comparing a 4.0l turbo vs 3.7l atmo?
          Hollow victory mate. Stick a huffer on the Zed and make it interesting.

          Or, if you're comparing kW/$ ratio let's play this game:

          kW per $1000
          XR6T: 6.75
          370Z: 4.08
          HSV GTS: 3.90

          (For reference)
          Veyron: 0.42
          Boeing 747-400: 0.37

          And the Winnah is…
          My car: 160.00

          (my car was $400 ;)

        • nhbvgynh on 17/11/2013 - 06:36

          If you're concerned about the unfairness of comparing the performance of a $20k cheaper car with the 370Z because of a factory fitted turbo, maybe you could look at other naturally aspirated 6 cylinder cars and compare their performance with a 370Z.

          Porsche's own webpage specifies a 0-60mph time of 3.5sec for a 911 GT3 which seems to soundly beat its natural rival, the 370Z. Two cars clearly in the same class due to the similar engine types since price is irrelevant.

        • Speckled Jim on 18/11/2013 - 10:31

          GT3? No.

          The 370Z was openly, publicly benchmarked against the Cayman during its development. And for that generation Cayman, on paper at least, it beat it on power/weight ratio and was much cheaper.

          The R35 GTR should have been up against the 911T, as they're both AWD, both 2+2 and both primarily road-biased cars. Motor magazine instead compared it to the GT2 against which it had little chance.

          I believe the GT3 has no equivalent rival, as like the GT2 it's a lightweight track-focused version of the 911.

    • striker5950 on 15/11/2013 - 16:03

      59990>>this is the drive away price, the 86 gt version is 29990, without on road costs, add all that up and the drive away price would be somewhere around 33,500 and that's the gt budget version, the gts which is closer to the accessories of the 370z (still not as feature packed as the 370z) is 40k drive away, not to mention the wait times on a 86, a friends brother wanted to but one last year, I think still waiting or changed his mind and bought a used skyline v36 (g37).

      That's not how it works. LCT is calculated only on the vehicle's price, accessories and delivery charges (after GST is calculated). It is not calculated on rego/CTP and stamp duty. If the car was $62,000 driveaway, there still wouldn't be any LCT applied.

          and it's still a wrx and no evo.
          pointless posturing imo.

          I don't know what I like more: that you so spectacularly missed the point, or that you then launched into an epic and impassioned wrx defence that no one will ever read.

          I hope someone was covering the helpdesk while you frantically smashed that out.

          Comparing a Turbo car to an NA one is silly. You already paid an extra $15k to start off with…plus all the mods…and tuning. What's the grand total?

          You can buy a base WRX @ $45k and throw all those mods in…including a 6 speed box, forged internals, blah blah blah…that's an extra $30k+ in mods that'll rape your STI…Brembo 4 pots? Meet AP Racing 6 pots…

          At the end of the day its still a WRX. If you want to spend an extra 30k for some brembos, seats, "non plastic" intake, no one's going to stop you. You can pick all that stuff up on Forums easily for a much cheaper price…

          Not to say the STI is a bad car, just over priced. Its like people who pay $100k+ for a Walkinshaw Commo…yeah its fast, but its still a Commodore…

          A turbo kit from Greddy for the $370z is about $9k. That alone will eat a stock STI. Unless its wet :p

          for $20k+ more i cant justify those extras

          especially when you can get a limited edition wrx that looks exactly like an Sti…and with the $20K savings, you can turn it into a 11sec car.

          sti only has 30kw more btw

          and with the 5speed gearbox, wrx is nearly the same speed down the 1/4 mile

          oh and btw ur golf R will munch you too lol

          and before you start flaming, i learnt how to drive on a wrx.

          Umm no? Golf Rs lost to me so many times…. atm im only pushing 223kw at all four wheels with just TBE, Equal length headers, intake and a tune.. I have a few mates with Golf Rs, with similar mods they don't make as much power. They can't even turn their traction control off completely lol

          Don't go comparing those little figures the companies quote, that's at the flywheel.

          The 5 speed gets shredded @ higher power.

          lol didn't see your comments at the bottom. All these types of cars when being modified are money pits. We all know it when we get into this. High performance cars shouldn't even appear on Ozbargain.

          Yeah and my $800 Volvo is more comfortable and has more solid build quality.

          Why you launching into this huge WRX VS STI debate when no one cares?
